Prometheus

In a microservice architecture, we need to monitor our services continuously and any issues should cause alerts immediately. We need a separate service that will continuously monitor and alert us whenever something weird happens. 

Prometheus consists of the following:

• Prometheus server, which is responsible for scraping and storing the time series data
• Libraries to instrument the application code
• A push gateway for supporting short-lived jobs
• An exporter to Grafana to visualize data
• An alert manager
• Other support tools

Prometheus is an alternative to JHipster console. It provides monitoring and alerting support. This requires running a Prometheus server separately for more information. To get started with Prometheus, visit
